An Unlikely Marriage?

I am trying to ‘marry’ health with quilting. Many people are telling me ‘it will never work’ – they are incompatible. Others are saying they have nothing in common.

I am listening to the comments, but – like any blushing bride embarking upon a new adventure – I am going to go ahead, do it anyway, and keep the optimistic spirit I had when I first envisioned the ‘partnering’. It will be a ‘give and take’ relationship – sometimes one will get the attention, sometimes the other – and time will hopefully iron out any imbalances or difficulties. I am including picture indicators to show which comments concern health and which comments concern quilting, so you can go directly to the part that interests you.

I found this comment from Dr. Mark Hyman, interesting: Think of magnesium as therelaxation mineral. Anything that is tight, irritable, crampy, and stiff — whether it is a body part or an even a mood — is a sign of magnesium deficiency.

I have just accepted a position in my quilt guild to be in charge of Friendship Groups. I am excited. That is how I found My friendship group, and we have been together about 15 years. Long story short – I am giving a ‘goody bag’ as an incentive for new guild members to sign up for a group. I announced it in the newsletter. ..and now I will have to be prepared to Deliver! One of the things I am including in the goody bag is a rotary cutter holder made from a potholder (fold potholder in half, sew across the bottom and up the long side). As with so many things in life – I happened to mention it to a quilting friend – who just happened to have a bag of new potholders she wanted to get rid of….Serendipity !!!
